Abstract:

One of the most important factors that the decision-makers consider when deciding on whether using ABC or not is the total construction cost of the project using these methods versus the conventional methods. The total construction cost includes both direct costs such as the material, labor, and equipment costs needed during construction and indirect costs associated with preliminary engineering, right-of-way, construction engineering, and inspection. However, there is a lack of tools that can help decision-makers in accurately estimating the construction cost of the ABC projects which, in some cases, might yield to an unsuitable decision. Therefore, this type of cost needs to be analyzed and estimated to support better decisions in selecting ABC versus conventional bridge construction methods.
